Harold Armstead Covington (September 14, 1953 – July 14, 2018)[1] was an American neo-Nazi activist[2] and writer. He advocated the creation of an "Aryan homeland" in the Pacific Northwest (known as the Northwest Territorial Imperative)[3] and was the founder of the Northwest Front (NF), a white separatist political movement that sought to create a white ethnostate.[1][4]
